Watch: Jack Russell rescued by fire fighters after trapping himself under garden shed

A pet owner was forced to call on the fire services after their dog became trapped under their garden shed.

'Buachaill' the Jack Russell was rescued by Greystone fire fighters after a family alerted them to their trapped dog in Kilcoole.

In the video the fire fighters use some sort of hydraulic pump to lift up the garden shed.

Buachaill can be heard whimpering throughout the operation as the small cabin is lifted.

As the pump works its magic the family and fire department urge the Jack Russell to come out.

Eventually Buachaill crawls out from where he was trapped much to the delight of his owners.

The much loved pet doesn't seem fazed as he shakes it off before being lifted by his mother.

The video was posted by Wicklow Fire Service on Twitter and has been viewed over a thousand times.

In the post they said: “Buachaill” the Jack Russel over did the self isolation and got himself stuck under the garden shed in Kilcoole this morning.

"The Greystones crew didn’t raise the roof, the raised the whole shed.

"A normal day for a dog whose name might translate as Jack the Lad."
